that have found their roots in the world
of music
[Music]
number ten numa numa my younger days of
viral videos where it was harder to get
noticed because YouTube wasn’t a big
thing yet Numa Numa as it’s known is
actually the song dragostea din TEI by
the mall dobin pop group ozone this song
originally came to prominence when a
video of gary brolsma in the lyrics and
dancing was released on new ground the
video has become an icon of internet
culture and the song well it still makes
us get up and pop our arms every time
number nine banana phone ring ring ring
ring ring ring rings banana phone
sometimes a meme just needs to be simple
to be amazing banana phone is a
children’s song that’s about you guessed
it a banana phone within three minutes
the singer rapi create many puns and
situations around the use of the phone
that just happens to also be a banana
it’s no bow
pony I cellular fun annular phone
this is a rare meme where you can
express the meaning in any way from
songs to mash up to a picture so banana
phone just have to be alluded to in some
way and as the song says this meme is
very appealing I’ve got the feeling so
repeating get together number eight Katy
Perry’s left sharp
this meme isn’t so much inspired by a
song but the performance of one during
the halftime show at Super Bowl xlix
Katy Perry performed her song teenage
dreams with two backup dancers dressed
up as sharks
so left sharks gave what was considered
by many to be a lackluster performance
and became a trending topic immediately
after the game
everybody quickly jumped on the
bandwagon including Snoop Dogg who
jokingly tweeted that he was the shark
but see it also ran a survey asking
which of the halftime sharks their
readers were what’s next a left shark
sitcom
[Applause]
number seven mom’s sphaghetti it is
harming on a sweater already mom’s
spaghetti as delicious as home cook
spaghetti maybe this is not the image
that Eminem was trying to convey taking
from Eminem’s Academy award-winning song
from eight miles what was meant to be a
throwaway line has become a phenomenon
of its own
the sheer absurdity of Eminem
referencing a warm hearty plate of
spaghetti in a song about overcoming
obstacles made this a mean that the
internet just couldn’t pass up
while the mental image might be
hilarious it doesn’t exactly put you in
the mood for Italian free man back off
the cone city obstacles oh man number
six fabulous secret powers a Man Thing
[Music]
fabulous secret powers is a music video
that is Prince Adam or he-man singing a
rendition of what’s up by 90’s alt rock
band 4 Non Blondes in a high-pitched
voice
[Music]
the video also featured key men dancing
and singing with other characters from
the show it additionally inspired
another demon video where a different
user had Skeletor and other major
characters sing a rendition of Queen’s
Bohemian Rhapsody Wednesday schema and
turn into a singing competition I swear
to the bomb number 5
Tom York dance remixes you know that
saying dance like nobody’s watching well
as it turns out everyone was watching
when Radiohead lead singer did some
interesting dances in the video for
lotus flower in fact thanks to this meme
Thom Yorke can get groovy to all your
favorite songs he condensed a modern hit
like designer panda train at the bottom
around Chicago has progressed the
miscibility family hope each other’s
understand or even classic like
Beethoven’s 5th he’s got some pretty
good moves so let’s hope one day we see
him on Dancing with the Stars in the
near future
[Music]
number four I should buy a boat cat York
is a prime example of a singer who has
been able to change with the time she’s
finding new ways to stay relevant which
include unintentionally creating a new
internet meet in her song tribe of a
heart where she ditches her cat husband
to go partying there’s a scene where a
cat in a suit is reading a newspaper
this scene was turned into an image
macro with the cat contemplating buying
a boat whenever this image is used it
has the cats either having an epiphany
or having a secret desire such as I
should write a book sometimes a second
picture is added showing the cat
actually doing the thing he wanted to do
[Music]
a night when number three hotline bling
and I know in my line bling you know
they may wonder it seems like every time
Drake releases a new song or album he
takes the internet by storm such is the
case with his views album covered the
biggest hit off this album of course was
hotline bling which quickly spawned
parodies and remixes galore and as Tom
York also demonstrated if you have any
dancing in your video it’s probably
going to be turned into a meme as well
interestingly enough even a certain
presidential candidate helped parody the
video on Saturday Night Live so let’s
just leave the dancing to drink you can
call me on the cell phone
ah number two and so on you know what
song you love but don’t know the name of
odds are it’s called sandstorm by darude
the ultimate pop-up jam this techno song
has found new life in the internet age
through gaming communities such as
league of legends darude sandstorm
people have done covers of the song on
different instruments create a
non-existent lyrics or even created
their own derivative memes using the
song so if you’re ever looking for
something to spice up your internet
video sprinkle a little darude and there
you go before we reveal our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one rickroll
this entry is a little ironic as you are
probably expecting this to be number one
like this is a meme about popping up
unexpectedly it’s pretty easy to
rickroll anyone all you have to do is
send them a link to a video or webpage
and bam it’s Rick Astley
[Music]
it’s pretty much the oldest internet
trick in the book but to this day it’s
still pretty effective Rick Astley has
even gone in on the joke such as the
time T Rick Rhoads everyone during the
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
[Music]
